Nokia E71 - good help resources etc.         


Author: tinnews
Date: Sep 6, 2008 10:38

I have just bought a Nokia E71 and I'm fairly impressed so far but I'm
finding it a *bit* overwhelming. I'm most definitely not a trendy
mobile phone sort of person but I am a Unix/Linux techie.

I have already managed to get ssh installed and working which was one
of my major requirements, I have also played with the GPS a bit (which
was another selling point of the E71 for me).

However I find the apparently rather 'messy' menu system difficult to
navigate and keep on losing things that I know are *somewhere*! :-)

Are there any good resources of information about the E71 which go a
bit beyond the user handbook that comes with it? I'm not necessarily
after much more in depth information, rather a better organised
approach that I can get my mind round more easily.

Also are there any mailing lists which might be of use? I have found
the Nokia forums but I really don't like forums, Usenet or mail for me.
